For the longest I was doing the shoulder width stance and wondering why it wasn’t really workin for me. Switched up recently and it has made ALL the difference. Then I stumble across ur video which gave me even more confirmation on why it’s working for me. Thank u for the quality content coach! 🔥💪
I find people today are "running before they learn to walk"...Fundamentals and basics are the key to everything. All the tricks are "based" off of the "basics". I consider myself a true student to the game. Thank you for all the great content.
I'm from Europe and I was taught to a) stand shoulder wide and b) that both my feet have to face forwards. I never felt comfortable this way and I always found myself "correcting" my stance every now and then since it was kinda unnatural for me. Now I see this... Thanks Coach! I wish I had the possibility to train with you. I recently discovered this channel and it's like all your stuff is gold. Even things I thought I knew might have been correct in one or another way... but the details man... the details... Keep it coming my man! Guys, don't share his videos. We need to keep this for us! Just kidding LOL... this dude deserves so much more attention...
Both channels have their benefits. I like Precision's for it's inclusion of conditioning, like the "1100 punches" stuff. Coach Anthony's, is EXCLUSIVELY about different techniques, which is ALSO great. Can't go wrong with the combination of BOTH these guys.
My son is 6 years old and views your vids on the regular.... He says he wants to be like Canelo or Mike Tyson.... you explain, teach and show everything so easy. Thank you.
I’m not a beginner, I’m a pretty good amateur boxer but still I like to watch these types of videos, because sometimes my trainers don’t even notice these mistakes. I usually find small mistakes in my stance and fundamentals because of this video - thanks!
You have to learn to walk before you can run, right? Love your philosophy. Lay your foundation, and take it slow. Understand the basics and master that first before you go on to the next step. Thanks for the video, Coach!
Great video coach. I’ve always boxed from a wide stance but recently been told to try box little bit more narrow. They said it’s easier to throw combinations. But it just doesn’t feel natural to me. I personally think it was me possibly taking too big of steps when moving so my balance was a bit off. I’m working on taking smaller steps but from a wide stance. Been boxing for a few years now but I’m trying to come back to the fundamentals.
Thanks for this vid. Your use of the analogy of the house...as long as the foundation or fundamentals are strong, you can use almost any material and geometric shapes to build upon it.
I used to watch your channel when you first started and I was always a fan or a student of your teachings, I’ve learned a lot from you! Love and peace Coach 💯🙏🏼❤️
Great video coach. I was shadow boxing while listening to this video and I caught myself with both feet on the same line. Everybody can benefit from strengthening their basics. Thanks!
Man i loooooovvvvveee these vids, i mainly taught myself a lot about boxing before i ever stepped in a real ring, but these vids help me sharpen up on everything, love it bro
Dam this video literally changed my view completely i fight regular just started and i do so many advance things but never started with basics and ikeep losing balance misplacing my feet when punching great stuff!! Thanks
Thank you sir! Keep! It! Simple! Strikers! I just was trying to explain the difference of functionality & trading tools. Both can become Game plan to destroy adversary. One Team
My footwork isn’t what it should be. I know I get more power when it’s right because I can hear it and feel it in my punches. It’s a journey that’s for sure!
most good boxers show different looks at different times. guys with a default wider stance, who can throw more then one good punch while backing up or off an angle change, usually don't hold the wide stance through those actions. It can also be of benefit to suck the back heel in a bit when you're dropping your weight and pulling across your body.... like throwing a quick level changes with punches, but not covering a lot of space initially.
Rayoza its a comfort thing related to how your body is shaped. A longer guy, a smaller guy, a taller guy, a shorter guy, etc. not all of them will feel comfortable in a stance like that. You hope that they would and try to. But its not always gonna work out. And then a lot will come back to someones hip flexibility/strength
100%. Joe Louis said in one of his books that the old trainers emphasized comfort over strict format. Everyone is built a little different so to each his own
Thank you so much for this video😁 🙏🏽I've been told that my stance was too wide and that I'll be faster if it was shorter. Well, I prefer to listen to you coach😉👊🏽
A lot of people are put off on putting in work on the basics because they think it's easy. It's important to be aware while doing the basics and always thinking about it instead of mindlessly doing reps. Students of the game know this and it shows in the gym.
@@Quellebreo373 Why not? He was supposed to be the next "Floyd" before he became his own worse enemy. I'm speakin' as a trainer and as someone who has in that cage and ring. Of course he isn't the caliber of boxer that Floyd is...but what I said about the stance is correct-- do your research.
@@dmandiola77 Right... a wider stance. Like Coach Anthony said, traditionally that isn't what you're taught when you first walk into a gym. HOwever, alot of the newer generation boxers have adopted a wider stance and of course Floyd has a wider stance as well. Some would say that is isn't "good the correct form"-- however, for some-- it has proven to be very effective.
@@TheMOTIV8Xperience Yeah I'm not discrediting the effectiveness of the wide stance, I try to have a wider stance myself. But I think the examples of @dmandiola are all better than Broner lol.
"Don´t skip the steps" That applies for any combat discipline and tomorrow morning I´ll try to widen the stance , I have more legs than torso so I feel more comfortable as you show it here though I was taught shoulder width.
I'm a coach and have hear other trainers saying the shoulder width feet. I never knew what was 100% correct but always preferred the wider stance. From this video forward I'll be more vocal about it.
I gave the video a like as always and I get your point about the wide stance. I just think the stance width should change depending on what you do. For upper body movement, balance and power obviously your wider stance is better however for moving away cutting somebody off or footwork let's just say that shoulder width stance with the feet I believe is more beneficial. Thanks for another great video
1:45 move in out 3:28 move in out 4:22 move in out 1:55 hips and thighs are shoulder with Not feet Feer should be little wider 3:40 footwork stepping mistake 4:20 on toes back foot 3:25 again 3:45 again 4:40 Don't skip steps foundations basic the most impprtant things
Hey Coach, I was wondering if you could make a video based on how should tall people fight on the inside as well as drills to do when fighting smaller guys. I’m 6ft5 113kg
I personally prefer the wide stance. The reasoning for having the feet closer together is so that you are in range to throw the right cross right behind the jab.
Coach have advice to better your UA-cam Chanel. In my opinion your videos can be categorized, for a good overview, on three maps: beginner, advanced and experienced. Or make categorized maps like footwork, condition training, hand speed.. etc

You and me both brother, from coach Anthony I am still going back to the basic principles because he knows how CRITICAL the basic principles are.
On gang
Yo im a real beginner in boxing and im watching ur vids religiously man. No one on utube make vids as useful as urs, keep it up 🔥🔥
Likewise Coach Ant and JT from precision striking will get you right
He knows his work
@@dandavisjr8029 Don’t forget about Tony Jeffries and ShaneFazen.

Im from USA and have always felt more comfortable in a more eurpean/russian style stance 😂✌🏻
Yo I came here from Precision Striking and I really feel as if I have came to a gem of a channel much love keep grinding bro
Barr Humburg yes i like this better. seems more broken down. and easily done.
Both channels have their benefits. I like Precision's for it's inclusion of conditioning, like the "1100 punches" stuff. Coach Anthony's, is EXCLUSIVELY about different techniques, which is ALSO great. Can't go wrong with the combination of BOTH these guys.
Coach Anthony, Precision Striking, Fran Sands and World Class Boxing Channel are easily the best on UA-cam.
Check out Wilson Kayden, a master at breaking down fights
I’ve been boxing since 2016 and I still have to revert back to this so there’s nothing wrong with learning the fundamental
And this is WHY you’re the GOAT boxing coach on UA-cam.
Shout out to Coach Anthony, the best in the business. 💪🥊

I recently just got into boxing, I like how you’re very detailed and preach the fundamentals.
I agree with you on that, better balance, and faster reaction time with a wider stance
For all the beginners I remember I was schooled in this hard. Sitting in your shots is the most important thing
You have to learn to walk before you can run, right? Love your philosophy. Lay your foundation, and take it slow. Understand the basics and master that first before you go on to the next step. Thanks for the video, Coach!

Im making my pro debut in August and when im not in the gym im watching your videos
You are so underrated thanks for sharing your awesome boxing knowledge
Thanks for this vid. Your use of the analogy of the house...as long as the foundation or fundamentals are strong, you can use almost any material and geometric shapes to build upon it.
Coach Anthony a real genius of the game
I used to watch your channel when you first started and I was always a fan or a student of your teachings, I’ve learned a lot from you! Love and peace Coach 💯🙏🏼❤️
Spot on, good lesson. Foundation provides balance, leverage etc. Without it you're behind the 8 ball immediately.
Great video coach. I was shadow boxing while listening to this video and I caught myself with both feet on the same line. Everybody can benefit from strengthening their basics. Thanks!
Number 1 coach on UA-cam 🥇
The best coach in the game !
That's very important coach...I was a bit confused with the width of the legs...now it's clickin
Man i loooooovvvvveee these vids, i mainly taught myself a lot about boxing before i ever stepped in a real ring, but these vids help me sharpen up on everything, love it bro
Dam this video literally changed my view completely i fight regular just started and i do so many advance things but never started with basics and ikeep losing balance misplacing my feet when punching great stuff!! Thanks
Good video. Agree. A good foundation is very important.
Yooooo your my new main man bro! Love the video, well done. 🙇
I love this dude teachings man
Thank you sir!
Keep!
It!
Simple!
Strikers!
I just was trying to explain the difference of functionality & trading tools.
Both can become Game plan to destroy adversary.
One Team

Undoubtedly you are one of the best coaches ever my dream corner would be you,mayweather sr,Rafael Garcia (r.i.p.)
Great reminders of the simple but very important basics! 💪🏼💥
Best Boxing Lessons on UA-cam! Thanks

Coach Anthony your the man I see you in the corner with farmer your a great trainer

Body type matters. Comfort matters. But every beginner should at least be taught this in the beginning and molded from there
‘Body type matters.’
Please elaborate some more? Thanks 👌
Rayoza its a comfort thing related to how your body is shaped. A longer guy, a smaller guy, a taller guy, a shorter guy, etc. not all of them will feel comfortable in a stance like that. You hope that they would and try to. But its not always gonna work out. And then a lot will come back to someones hip flexibility/strength
@@BiH1207 I definitely agree not everyone will be comfortable in that stance me personal I'm not a big fan of the wide stance
100%. Joe Louis said in one of his books that the old trainers emphasized comfort over strict format. Everyone is built a little different so to each his own
Preach it brother.
Yo been watching your vids for a while now and I must say this is really the real deal. No bs just straight quality boxing knowledge thanks a lot!!
Coach anthony I'm going to become a pro. I'll come back to this comment to thank you after my first bout.
Did you go pro?
Smashed it again coach cant say one of your videos have been off point!👌👌👌👌👍🇬🇧
Easy honest video no bullshit i love it
Thank you so much for this video😁 🙏🏽I've been told that my stance was too wide and that I'll be faster if it was shorter. Well, I prefer to listen to you coach😉👊🏽
Gemz!!! My man. About to cop the footwork video based on this one tip alone! BrB!!! Keep dropping that knowledge my guy💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🥊🥊🥊
Did you buy it?
Thats that gold again from coach Anthony
Best coach ever
Even with kickboxing ill do this, i hate small stances so much. Being in a wider stance always allowed me to do what I needed to do
A lot of people are put off on putting in work on the basics because they think it's easy. It's important to be aware while doing the basics and always thinking about it instead of mindlessly doing reps. Students of the game know this and it shows in the gym.
No doubt bruh... even Floyd fought out of a wider stance as well, Broner too. Keep up the great work bro!
Not a bronzer fan, Loma, Andre Ward , Canelo all have very good form
Don’t talk about Floyd and Broner in the same sentence
@@Quellebreo373 Why not? He was supposed to be the next "Floyd" before he became his own worse enemy. I'm speakin' as a trainer and as someone who has in that cage and ring. Of course he isn't the caliber of boxer that Floyd is...but what I said about the stance is correct-- do your research.

Love the passion in even the basics your the man coach 💯 #respect
Da face of a man who just saw a few insta posts, got pissed off and be like nah man I needa send these fools back to physics school
Lol Teacher's teach !
This to me seems great as a tool for defensive fighters as they tend to be less grounded and more upright in order to dance around the ring.
"Don´t skip the steps"
That applies for any combat discipline and tomorrow morning I´ll try to widen the stance , I have more legs than torso so I feel more comfortable as you show it here though I was taught shoulder width.
Thanks for this vídeo!
Not to go there (again), but growing up in Philly on the block, we always had that stance. I think it's a natural kinetic position. Thanks.
I'm a coach and have hear other trainers saying the shoulder width feet. I never knew what was 100% correct but always preferred the wider stance. From this video forward I'll be more vocal about it.
Real. Thanks, Coach
thanks a lot coach!
I agree 100% I prefer a wider stance too
Yeah i thought my stance was good until i saw a recording of myself...smh im out here looking sloppy 😂😂..thanks for the insight.
Good stance for Boxing.

Thanks coach.. I have been making the exact mistake..
💯💯💯💪
You sound like Denzel my brother. Great vid, sound advice as per. Fan from the UK. 👊🏼💥
Facts as a practitioner of multiple arts, a wide stance will get ya block knocked off. Martial arts is physics.
1:45 move in out
3:28 move in out
4:22 move in out
1:55 hips and thighs are shoulder with
Not feet
Feer should be little wider
3:40 footwork stepping mistake
4:20 on toes back foot
3:25 again
3:45 again
4:40 Don't skip steps foundations basic the most impprtant things
THANK YOU COACH
You're welcome
Big up coach Anthony 👊🏼
Thanks for the video coach 🥊👌🏻🙏🏼
Hey Coach, I was wondering if you could make a video based on how should tall people fight on the inside as well as drills to do when fighting smaller guys. I’m 6ft5 113kg

Saya Dari Indonesia Sangat suka sekali Semua Konten Anda🙏
I personally prefer the wide stance. The reasoning for having the feet closer together is so that you are in range to throw the right cross right behind the jab.
Love the vids, really helpful
Cids?
Vids as in videos sorry
Coach have advice to better your UA-cam Chanel. In my opinion your videos can be categorized, for a good overview, on three maps: beginner, advanced and experienced.
Or make categorized maps like footwork, condition training, hand speed.. etc
Like the videos. Does youtube allow you to organize them how you want to?
Fundamentals!
